FOLDING TWIN BED.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 29, 190

[ all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. REED, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful lm provements in Folding Twin Beds, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has for its objects first, to provide a folding twin bed so constructed and arranged as that when folded, forming an attractive piece such as a chiffonnier or the like, for an apartment, and also at the same time with the two independent beds when made up arranged a sufficient distance apart, in a folded condition, as to provide a substantial obaintained when ghly sanitary condition; and second, to provide a bed of the character described, with foldable side means connected with the beds proper, whereby separate counter-panes or bed clothtion of air between t lated condition.

The nature and ch he twin beds in their folded isoaracteristic features of my invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which I side elevational view of a folding twin niture for an apartment, with the side foldable flaps of each of the beds shown in a folded condition to form part of the top of the bed, in the vertical position thereof. tical central sectional view betwccn them, i o maintain .ided with a substantial an space or opening between horn, in order that one bed may in reality be isoated from the other. Fig. 4 is a top or plan view of he two twin isolated folding beds of my invention, 1 a position for use; and Fig. 5 is a crosssection in etail of the two foldable side flaps of the beds proper, lowing the recesses provided therein, with the spring cking latch or device in one flap adapted to engage and 4, which when thrown down permit th said beds arranged so that in p Patented July 23, 1907. 7.

an offset in the other flap, so as to ho] bed i d the two twin I s locked in a vertical folded condi tion. Referring to the drawings 6 and 7 shape stand pivot connections 12 The standards are each gage the inner sides of both occupy vertical ch other. The outer provided with hinged as clearly shown in Figs. 3

the frames of the bed when ith respect to ea sides of the frames 6 and 7, are foldable flaps 15 and 16,

shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and 2, by the the two 19 and 20, d outward,

and 20, will assume vertical supporting positions, as illustrated in said figure to permit e beds being held in horizontal planes to each other, side by side and when ear each end portion are grooved or recessed at 22 and 23, with an offset 24, in one of the flaps 16, and with a spring latch locking device 25, having an operating position, such as is shown in Fig. 1, and thereby to cause the respective twin beds to assume the posi tion shown in Figs. 3 and d, for the isolated from each other, or space 17, formed between the coupled beds in such position thereof.

Having thus described the nature my invention what I claim by Letters Patent isz- 1. A folding twin bed, comprising two coupled beds having" an oblong opening arranged between them, connected with the outer sides adapted to open outward, osition for use the beds and objects of as new and desire to secure bed clothing to overhang the outer between the beds in such can the other, substantially as 3. A folding twin bed, comprising two coupled beds the foot and head portions of said with an oblong opening arranged between them hinged flaps connected with the outer sides of the beds, said beds arranged so that in position, for use, bed clothing madeup thereon can be drawn over the outer sides of the beds and in such condition completely isolating one from the other, and pivotal legs connected with the foot and head portions of said beds adapted to assume vertical positions to support the same in like planes, substantially as described.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
